Picture of the Day - Ominous Smoke Face

Maybe getting a bit heat-stroked and sun-scorched today while out hiking fried my brain's wiring a bit, but I saw yet another anthropomorphic face, this time in a cloud formation looming over Atascadero State Hospital as viewed from the top of Pinal Avenue in Atascadero, CA. I caught a glimpse of this as I drove away from my mom's house and decided to drive up to where I knew I would get a view and what I saw exceeded my expectations. I see a furrowed, scowling brow with deeply-inset eyes in this multi-tiered smoke bank drifting in from the 6,000-acre Canyon Fire burning to the south on the post of Vandenberg Air Force Base.
